News summary

The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archeology and Anthropology held an interfaith service commemorating 19 Black Philadelphians whose skulls were stolen nearly 200 years ago by white supremacist scientist Samuel G. Morton, which was criticized by some as hasty and opaque, with a two-part event ending at Eden Cemetery, a historic African American cemetery in Collingdale, Delaware County. The university is also trying to repatriate hundreds of skulls from around the world, but some community members feel excluded from the process, with the decision to re-inter the remains in Eden Cemetery made without their input.
